Scripture Reading

Psalm 71

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 71:16

I will go in the strength of the LORD God; I will proclaim your goodness, yours alone.

Reflect

How is the life of the psalm writer described? How does the writer describe God in verse 3? Have you ever thought of God in these terms? What verses indicate the writer’s trust in God? How will you proclaim God’s goodness, faithfulness, and righteousness today?

Pray

Almighty God, you are my secure shelter and strong fortress; you are my refuge and defense. I trust in you, knowing that you are always near and ready to come to my aid. I will tell of your goodness and speak of your righteousness all day long. Amen.
